Hi my name is Travis!
I am a network engineer with 15 plus years of experience. I decided to leave the corporate world in July 2020. My passion has always been technology and collecting sneakers. I have been collecting sneakers since I got my first pair of Jordan's in elementary school.
I started my shoe making journey in March of 2021 with SD Custom Footwear. Resell prices are what led me to learn the handmade craft. After taking 5 classes, Rey asked me if I would like to help instruct. I felt honored that he saw the passion I had for shoe making. My original plan was to ask him if I could help. He beat me to it! I have been in every class since.
My passion for shoe making is genuine. Once a pair is finished, it's on to the next one immediately. Since taking the class last March I have completed 24 pairs of sneakers and currently wrapping up my 25th. The silhouettes I have worked with are the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 11, Dunk High, Dunk Low, Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 High, Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 Low (personal favorite), and Air Max 1. I’ll add more silhouettes to work with soon, Blazers and Chuck Taylors.
When I’m not making sneakers, I’m studying crypto, NFTs, Blockchain and Web 3 technology. I’m also one of Discord admins.
